After overcoming countless crises, the Digital World now exists peacefully once again. Although Digimon quarrel amongst themselves on occasion, the world as a whole is a peaceful place… perhaps too peaceful…

The incredible defenders of the Digital World have grown bored and peace brings no satisfaction. A world without chaos has extinguished the driving force behind their existence – to Digivolve. To pacify the growing unrest, a proposal was made… “Let us gather all Digimon who seek to Digivolve and hold a tournament to crown the strongest of them all!” And so began, the “Digimon Evolution Tournament.” A tournament of Digi-monumental proportions.

I honestly think this is some test for NA/EU audiences. They didn't announce the newer 3DS or Vita titles but instead announce a game we've never seen before. I'm buying, we haven't had a Digimon game in NA since 2008 after all.

the original was lots of fun, the second... wasn't that good. and you know you want the other games more that this. if I were able to swap ASR with CS or RDD I'll do it.

Of course I want the other games but they clearly aren't bringing them over if this game flops. Namco did the samething with One Piece. They brought over Pirate Warriors as a digital only title in NA, now we're getting almost all of the latest games.

Eesh.. it's been a while since the home consoles were given a Digimon game, last time it was on PS2/OX.

I really like what I'm seeing but why make this game exclusive to last-gen consoles? It'd be sweet to play it on PS4/XO/WU too (well, Wii U's going to have Smash 4 during Winter so no one will really care for Digimon).

One thing about Smash Bros. clones is that they're really good and coming from Bandai I'm expecting it to be pretty good, since Battle Stadium D.O.N was too.

Namco is still one of the few publishers that think their games will sell much better on last gen consoles despite the fact that last gen sales are collapsing.
